Track Insight / Lyrics
Boots kick up the amber gravel
Roller coaster ribs like bones
Ticket booth stands empty handed
Autumn wind sighs through the pines
Two moons rise where the sun once set
My iron rests against the fence
The midway holds its breath again
Waiting for the season's end
Twin suns bleed on painted horses
Ferris wheel turns slow and rusted
No cotton candy, no laughter
Just dust and wind and me
Carousel horses frozen mid-leap
Peeling paint shows years of sun
I count rotations in my sleep
Before the winter finally comes
Two moons rise where the sun once set
My iron rests against the fence
The midway holds its breath again
Waiting for the season's end
Twin suns bleed on painted horses
Ferris wheel turns slow and rusted
No cotton candy, no laughter
Just dust and wind and me
Once I rode the circuit preaching
Hymns half-remembered in the dust
Now I guard what time stopped teaching
Rusted bolts and broken trust
Twin suns bleed on painted horses
Ferris wheel turns slow and rusted
No cotton candy, no laughter
Just dust and wind and me
Maple leaves burn on the Tilt-A-Whirl
Scrambler arms fold like dead spiders
Funhouse mirrors show no girl
Just a wanderer growing wider
Twin suns bleed on painted horses
Ferris wheel turns slow and rusted
No cotton candy, no laughter
Just dust and wind and me
Six-gun heavy on my hip bone
Twin suns dip behind the track
This park won't open for no one
But I ain't never turning back
Twin suns bleed on painted horses
Ferris wheel turns slow and rusted
No cotton candy, no laughter
Just dust and wind and me
Twin suns bleed on painted horses
Just dust and wind and me
